Diagnosis and Differential Diagnosis of Breast Calcifications

More about the book

A thorough understanding of breast pathology is essential for accurately interpreting mammograms. The text highlights the importance of comparing X-ray films with actual specimens to avoid erroneous diagnoses. It critiques the tendency to overreact to minor findings on mammograms, which can lead to unnecessary biopsies and a decline in confidence in mammography. Despite these issues, the method remains superior for early carcinoma detection compared to other imaging techniques, underscoring its value in medical practice.
